Dermaplaning

​​​

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive skincare treatment that exfoliates the skin by using a sterile surgical scalpel to remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz). This process helps to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion and allows skincare products to penetrate more effectively.

Benefits of Dermaplaning

Exfoliation: Removes dead skin cells, promoting a brighter, smoother skin texture.

Improved Skincare Absorption: Helps serums and moisturisers penetrate deeper into the skin.

Smoother Makeup Application: Creates a flawless canvas for foundation and other makeup.

Reduction of Fine Lines & Dullness: Regular treatments can improve overall skin tone and texture.

Safe for Most Skin Types: Unlike some exfoliating treatments, dermaplaning is generally safe for sensitive ski
